Durability is definitely the biggest concern about Walden, as he has missed a lot of time in each of the last three seasons. However, when he is healthy, he is typically very effective. In 2014 he had a 2.88 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 62 strikeouts in 50 innings as the Braves' setup man. In fact, he had a better ERA, WHIP and strikeout rate than Cardinals closer Trevor Rosenthal and would have surpassed him in wins above replacement if he had been able to match Rosenthal's innings. Given Walden's track record, that is a big \"if,\" but Rosenthal has been shaky at times in the ninth inning, and if manager Mike Matheny switches things up at the back of his bullpen, Walden is the most obvious choice to take over the ninth-inning role.","seasonId":2015,"date":"Tue Feb 10"},"positionRank":105}

NEW YORK -- With even a little help, Zack Wheeler could have beaten the Atlanta Braves Wednesday night. He didn't get it. Wheeler, the 24-year-old New York Mets right-hander from Georgia, remained winless against his hometown team this season, despite turning in yet another strong start.

Earlier this week, the Atlanta Braves declared that closer Craig Kimbrel should be considered day-to-day, as the pitcher dealt with soreness in his right shoulder that was hoped to be resolved by a few days of rest.
